The whole county is crooked, especially the sheriffs office, and everyone knows it.

I had a custom trailer stolen from my lease. Three years late I see it behind a truck and detain the guy and call the cops. Turns out he was a Wilcox County Commissioner, and, the cops never showed. I took picks and went to the law and they said there was nothing I could do to prove it was mine if I didn't have a bill of sale with a serial number on it (which I didn't since it was a handmade). Even the churches down there hold classes to teach residents how to get "crazy checks" and other guberment dollars for their kids!

If that's the case I would go get that sucker back and dare him to come get it.

I was going to but now he isn't keeping it at his house since I went to the law. Maybe he sold it, who knows.

Back in the late 70's, early 80's a couple of my relatives were poaching on a big land owners Bain Henderson's property in Wilcox Co. No doubt they were being stupid. As soon as they got up in the treestand, they heard someone scream, "Alright you Son of a Bitches come outta there"! They climb down and go over to the truck. There stood the game warden, 2 black policeman and 2 of Hendersons sons. They had beaten the metal on the truck to a pulp with a baseball bat, flattened tires, busted windows and stole a 22 rifle and a crown royal bag full of quarters. There wasnt a whole lot said once they got back to the truck. My relative told the officers that yes we are poaching, write me a ticket or take me to jail but what are you going to do about what the sons did my truck? All of the officers that were there said "we aint seen nothing". They loaded my 2 relatives up took them back to the state park where they were staying. The cop did let them stop at a convient store for beer before dropping them off at Roland Cooper SP. My relatives truck had to be towed back to Birmingham for all repairs. Cost him around $2000. My relative that owned the truck called the prosecutor and asked him about pressing charges for damages done to his truck and the prosecutor replied, " Sir, if you ever plan on coming back to Wilcox County, I would recommend you not pursue any charges against Mr. BH." My relative clearly understood what that meant and that was the end of it. Not to say they were not in the wrong because clearly they were. But from what it appeared, those LEO were all in the landowners back pockets. It was also rumored that the landowner had killed a couple poachers after their incident. Apparently Wilcox Co is like one of those one horse towns you see on TV.

It takes a special kind of stupid to poach on any Henderson property in Wilcox Co. From other stories I've heard I'd say they got off light.

I hunted for years with Fred Henderson, Bains oldest son, before his untimely death in a truck wreck. I had keys to all the Henderson land in Wilcox with permission to hunt it anytime I wanted, just call and let him know I was going.
